About Skowhegan
Skowhegan is a summer art school founded in 1946 by artists, with an open, experimental approach to learning. We share knowledge outside traditional academic frameworks. As a non-degree program, participants, faculty, and staff live and work together, building trust through daily communal life.
The program unfolds through studio visits, workshops, conversations, reading groups, lectures, and seminars that bring theory and practice together. Each year, participants, staff and faculty collectively shape the curriculum, guided by shared interests and the freedom to manage their own time—an openness that demands care, responsibility, and commitment.
The School is envisioned as a continuous work- in-progress environment, which prioritizes process and exchange: each individual’s practice influences the collective experience and deepens discourse around what “making” means to artists.
